VENTILATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 733,956, dated July 21, 1903. Application filed March 6,1902. Serial No. 96,929. (No model.)

1'0 (ti/Z tale/m, it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD J. GLAOKIN, a

' citizen of the United States, residing at Chi.-

cago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ventilators, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is concerned with certain new and useful improvements in ventilators, and is designed to produce a device of the class described which may be applied to a window or similar structure, preferably at the top thereof, and which can be adjusted so as to direct the current of air entering upward toward the ceiling and prevent the possibility of a direct draft striking the occupants of the room.

My invention is also concerned with the combination of a device of the class described with a window-shade, whereby the ventilator can be adjusted at any necessary angle without interfering in any manner with the operation of the shade. It is also preferably constructed so that the shade itself forms a part of the ventilator.

To illustrate my invention, I annex hereto two sheets-of drawings in which the same reference characters are used to designate identical parts in all the figures, of which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the upper half of a window, showing my improved ventilator applied thereto and in use. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section through the -window with the parts adjusted as they'are in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view similar to Fig. 2, but with the window closed and the ventilator not in use; and Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 8, but showing the ventilator arranged inside the window-frame and modified to adapt it for such a location.

(1 represents the ordinary window-frame, in which the upper and lower sashes b and c are mounted to slide in the customary manner.

.On each side, near the top of the frame, I socure, by screws or otherwise, the bearingplated, which has pivotally secured to the outer end thereof and on the inner face, as at c, the side piece f of the ventilatonfrzime.

These two side pieces are preferably of the ti'iangnlarshape shownand are each provided at their lower end with the inwardly-projecting thimble g hese two thimbles g serve as the support for the rod It, which connects the two side pieces. In the upperends of the side pieces f is mounted a curtain-roller which is preferably of the customaryspringroller construction and has mounted thereon the shade 7;... The side pieces f are prtyided on their front edges with the inwardly-projecting flanges l, which extend inward far enough to cover the edges of the curtain. In connection with the ventilator a pair of strings on and n are employed, which are secured thereto in any convenient manner, as by heiug fastened to the rings 0 and p, which in turn are passed through suitable holes in the top of the side pieces. The string n is passed rearward and through a ring or sheave 1, so that by pulling down on the cord m the ventilato r may be tilted forward to the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, or by pulling the cord -11. it may be turned back to its vertical or inoperative position. (Shownin Figs. 3 and 4.) These cords m and u. may have their lower ends secured in any desired manner to hold the ventilator in any position of adjustment, or the lower ends may be connected as shown and passed over the customary cord-tightener r, suitably located upon the window'casing. The operation of the device will be readily apparent. When the window is closed and in the position shown in Fig. 3, the ventilator may stand in the vertical position therein shown, and the shade It hangs straight down in the normal manner. if it is desired to ventilate the room, the upper sash bis drawn down a short distance and the cord or cords m are pulled down to swing the rear of the ventilator, and consequently the curtain, against the upper portion of the sash b. In this position it will be apparent that the air entering must be directed toward the top of the room and the heatedair already in the room can readily escape through the opening, the ventilator thus providing for the inward and outward drafts without the possihility of creating a, draft of the room, Where occupsnts. r

In case the ventilator is to be employed in, connection with a. very deep windmwfreme,

ECII

, l i zutermcdiete their ends to i in the lower portion it will he injurious to the such as is shown in Fig. 4, it is necessary to mount the ventilator within the frame, and in that case in addition to the mechanism heretofore described I may employ a. supplemental strip 3 on both sides, which may be formed integrsi with or fastened to the frame in connection with the lseeringplete d. This supplen'ientsi strip .9 hes so elongated verticsl slot; 25 therein. which serves to support the ends of the trensversestrip n, which I employ to lower the draft at the top of the window enough so the/tit will strike the ventilator when in the operative position shown-in dotted. lines in Fig. 4, so then the current of air will he necessarily deflected u'pwsrd as in the ordinary construction.

While I have shown my inventiouas em bodied in the form which I at present consider best adapted to carry out its purposes, it will be understood thst ibis capable of modifications and that I do not'desireto be limited in the interpretation of the following claims except so may be necessitated by the stoic of the prior art.
